Stroller {reincarnated}: Flintstone Car!

So this is not exactly the same as my furniture {reincarnations} but we are still taking one object and transforming it into another, so I think it is blog-worthy! Our fabulous neighborhood, Virginia Highlands, has a family parade every year on the weekend of Summerfest (http://www.vahi.org/summerfest.html). This year the theme was TV/Movies and our little family of 3 decided to be Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles FLINTSTONE! Jeff and I had a great time turning one of our strollers into a masterpiece! And on top of that, Grace Anne (a.k.a. Pebbles) won FIRST PLACE in the costume contest!! Yabba-Dabba-Do!

It is a combo of swimmy noodles, painted foam shields from toys r us (wheels), felt, wooden dowels, many zip ties, and of course duct tape.
